Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Empirical Finance publishes research on financial markets, focusing on empirical analysis of asset pricing, risk management, and market dynamics. Recent articles investigate methods for calculating risk indicators like maximum drawdown, analyze credit flow dynamics in response to market shocks, and explore the predictive value of economic factors for market volatility. The journal also examines multifactor asset pricing models incorporating different time frequencies, develops novel approaches for forward-looking tail risk forecasting conditional on economic states, and studies the relationship between insider trading and future share performance, particularly in distressed firms.
